If this is true, it's pretty much proof how true Runa's sentiment is. |
Sapkowski actually never said anything about Ciri in the show.
She's portrayed in books as white, false Ciri is portrayed as white as well.
Sapkowski, May 2017:
“I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories, staying true to the source material and the themes that I have spent over thirty years writing.”
Sapkowski, January 2018:
“I do not take part in the work on the series. Books are books, games are games, and film adaptations are film adaptations.” That’s all I can say at the moment. I have signed a contract under which I am punished if I say something more.”
Hissrich, May 2018:
The answer is: I will not deviate from the books’ races and cultures, which means I WILL include minorities. The trap people fall into is equating “minority” with skin color.
Will I move through the book and start changing people’s cultural heritage or ethnic makeup or gender because I’m feeling really “liberal” that day? No. That’s ridiculous and contrary to what ANY writer would do, because we are storytellers. Story comes first.
But will there be minorities? Yes. A man would be a minority in Brokilon Forest. A person of color would be a minority in a small village. An islander would be an minority in Cintra. Mr. Sapkowski has said — publicly, and to me — that the Continent is big and diverse — in its population, in every way (race, culture, gender, and yes, occasionally skin color, which he said he did not always specify). I’m not sure how people insinuate I’m destroying the books by recognizing that. I’m honoring the author’s own intentions. He told me so himself.
Reeks of bullshit, IMO.
